UNSPSC 50315410: Organic comice pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic comice pears

UNSPSC 50315410 Organic comice pears is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show virtually no purchasing activity aligned with the nominal scope. The source records sixteen recent school nutrition procurement opportunities spanning February through July 2026 across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, but none specifically target organic comice pears or pears of any kind. Instead, the records document broad fresh produce, fresh fruit and vegetable, and fresh produce with eggs solicitations that span comprehensive commodity baskets—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, citrus, melons, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and many other items—from school districts and county boards of education. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either that the code is not routinely applied to state and local pear purchases, or that pears (organic or conventional) command insufficient line-item specificity in typical school nutrition and produce RFPs to warrant standalone coding and opportunity tagging.

The issuing bodies are exclusively K–12 school districts and county boards of education in Georgia (Glynn County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Texas (Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Opportunities cluster in the March–July 2026 window and employ Invitations for Bid, Requests for Proposal, and Request for Bids notice types, with contract terms typically running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and annual spending ranging from approximately $1.1 million (Douglas County Area Two) to $4.4 million (Douglas County Area One). These procurements are driven by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program allocations, and Farm to School initiatives. Because the source shows no recent opportunities explicitly targeting organic comice pears, pursuing this code would require prospecting beyond posted state and local notices or repositioning pears as a line item within broader fresh-produce RFPs where organic premium pricing and varietal specification are not standard evaluation criteria.
